John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 haven't visited too many ball parks but my fav so far is PNC park in Pittsburgh...what an experience...Rogers Centre, not so much I've only managed to hit 3 parks. The old dump in Seattle before they imploded it for a real field, AT&T in San Fran (amazing park) and Fenway (great history, but painfully full of Sox fans, kinda ruins everything)

The old dump in Seattle, the old Yankee stadium, the big O and the Rogers Center. I saw Fenway but it was the off-season. The old Yankee Stadium was easily the best of that lot but that's really not saying much.
BluejayEd Verified Member Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 The Leafs have been s*** for the last 10 years. They were good in the early 2000's and 90's, up and down in the 80's and consistent in the 70's after the last cup in '67(going by their season history at least.) Hockey will always sell in this city because it's ingrained in the culture, and there will always be rich old people ready to fill up the arena. Hell, the average waiting time for season tickets is 20 years. What I think people are failing to realize is that you cannot even begin to compare the Jays attendance to Leaf/Raptors games because they play twice as many games at home in a stadium more than twice the size of the building the Raptors/Leafs play in. Yes, tickets are cheaper, but that is still a ton of seats to fill for a ton of dates for a team that hasn't done anything in 20 years, in a non-traditional baseball market like Chicago or New York. And when you're playing in a non-traditional baseball market, and have a bad team and bring clubs like the Orioles, Rays, Royals, Indians, etc. to town, the casual fan could care less. Hence why some of those teams only draw 18,000 people a game. Oh, and the fact that no one with a brain thinks the Rogers Centre is a great baseball stadium. If you've been to places like PNC Park, New Yankees Stadium, Citi Field, etc. You realize how good those fans of it when you compare it to the hulking dump known as the Rogers Centre. Yes
jays4life19 Old-Timey Member Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 The dome (hopefully) should be open more then not going forward. With the Jays fresh off a sweep and in first place hopefully we see some good crowds with all the home games coming up. We have the next three weekends at home - Oakland, KC and St Louis.
